Bohemian Rhapsody of a Down
Anthony Vincent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caught in a landslide no escape from reality
Open your eyes look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy
(poor boy) , I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows
To me
Bung bung bung bung bung bung bung bung
Bung bung bung bung bung bung bung bung
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
(away)
Mama, ah didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on
As if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, oh I've got to, go
Gotta leave you all behind
(Gotta leave you all behind) and face
The truth (Gotta face the truth)
Mama, ooh (Any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never, never
Never been born at all, all, all
Ooh, oo oo ooh oo oo ooh oo oo-
I see a little silhouetto of a man
(Scaramouche, Scaramouche
Will you do the Fandango?)
Thunderbolts and lightning (alup) , very
Very fright'ning (alup alup alup) me
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo
Galileo Figaro magnifico (oh)
I'm-a just a poor boy, no-a-body loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
(ooh)
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah, no! We will not let you-
Go, let him go, Johnny go!
(Bismillah) We will not let you
Go (Let him go)
Bismillah! We will not let you go
Let me go (Will not let you go)
Let me go (Will not let you go)
Let me go (Never never never never never
Never gonna let you)
Go!
No, no, no!
No
No
No
No
No
Oh mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for-
Me, for-
Me!
So you think you can stone me
And spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me
And leave me to die? Oh-
Baby, can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, gotta get right
Outta here!
Ooh, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
The lyrics of "Bohemian Rhapsody of a Down" by Anthony Vincent are a clever and humorous twist on the iconic song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. It starts by questioning the nature of reality, with the lines "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?" The singer feels trapped and engulfed by the harshness of reality, symbolized by being caught in a landslide with no escape. However, they maintain their sense of self-worth and independence, declaring "I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy." They have a carefree attitude, going with the flow and accepting whatever comes their way.
The song then takes a darker turn as the singer reflects on "Mama, just killed a man." This line suggests a violent act has been committed, putting a gun against someone's head and pulling the trigger. It's a reckless and impulsive action that disrupts the course of life. The remorse and guilt felt by the singer is expressed through the line "Mama, ah didn't mean to make you cry." They fear the consequences of their actions and their mortality, not wanting to die and wishing they had never been born.
The song continues with various references and playful lyrics, including "I see a little silhouetto of a man" and the iconic line "Thunderbolts and lightning, very very fright'ning me." These lines, along with the inclusion of names like Galileo and Scaramouche, add to the whimsical and theatrical nature of the song. They create an atmosphere of chaos and absurdity.
The lyrics also incorporate references to the original "Bohemian Rhapsody" song, such as the lines "Bismillah, no! We will not let you go!" These allusions pay homage to the Queen song while adding a unique and comedic twist. The song concludes with the realization that nothing really matters and anyone can see that. It embraces a sense of nihilism and emphasizes the insignificance of individual concerns in the grand scheme of things.
Overall, "Bohemian Rhapsody of a Down" is a playful and irreverent interpretation of the original song, using clever wordplay and humorous references to create a new narrative. It explores themes of reality, remorse, mortality, and the fleeting nature of life, all while maintaining a lighthearted and entertaining tone.
